Termination - Lynn Gale

Termination

Rapidly it spread from nation to nation,
An invisible menace, set on world domination.
To our shores this unwanted occupation,
Forcing the populace into self isolation.
Loo rolls, pasta and hand sanitation,
Stripped from shelves to near decimation.
Behind closed doors our worried population
Missing loved ones enforced separation.
No football, concerts or church congregation,
A gathering invokes strong condemnation.
As the rich and vain bestow lifestyle education,
It’s the lowest paid who became our salvation.
Stay safe and keep strong determination
This virus will reach its final termination.
